Young’s Modulus Variation Cement Adhesives Thermal Action in LRHS #Sciencefather #Researcherawards

Image
Introduction Lightweight radiant heating systems (LRHSs) rely heavily on the performance of deformable cement adhesives , as these materials replace conventional screeds and act as the primary bonding layer between the thermal insulation and floor surface. The mechanical stability of these adhesives under temperature variation is crucial, especially when exposed to thermal actions between 30 °C and 50 °C. Changes in Young’s modulus (E) significantly influence the structural behavior of these systems, potentially leading to interface failure , reduced layer integrity, and delamination . Understanding how adhesives such as C2S1 and C2S2 respond to thermal conditions is essential for predicting system durability and improving structural safety in modern heating system applications. Thermal Influence on Young’s Modulus of Cement Adhesives The thermal sensitivity of cement adhesive mortars presents a key focus for research, particularly in the context of LRHSs where temperature fluct...

Laser Powder Bed Fusion of 25CrMo4 Steel: Metallurgy & Mechanics #Sciencefather #Researcherawards

Image
Introduction The evolution of additive manufacturing has enabled precise control over microstructural and mechanical properties , particularly in advanced steels such as 25CrMo4 . This study explores how laser-based powder bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M) influences material outcomes when key printing parameters—laser power, scan speed, and layer thickness—are systematically varied. By examining how volumetric energy density (VED) and linear energy density (LED) affect hardness, porosity , and mechanical strengths, the research provides foundational insights into achieving optimal metallurgical integrity in 3D-printed high-strength steels. The findings highlight that balanced energy inputs are critical for improving performance while avoiding brittleness. Influence of Energy Density on Metallurgical Characteristics This topic investigates how fluctuations in VED and LED modify the metallurgical behavior of 25CrMo4 steel during the PBF-LB/M process. Higher VED values promote full me...

Magnesium Silicate Hydrate Cement & Radioactive Resins Impact #Sciencefather #Researcherawards

Image
Introduction The safe management and disposal of liquid radioactive waste remain critical challenges for nuclear facilities worldwide. Ion exchange resins are widely applied to treat such wastes, yet their disposal requires reliable immobilization strategies to prevent environmental contamination. Magnesium silicate hydrate cement (MSHC) has recently gained attention as an alternative solidification matrix due to its superior bonding characteristics, lower alkalinity, and enhanced compatibility with organic materials. The present study explores the feasibility of using MSHC to immobilize radioactive waste resins containing Cs⁺, Sr²⁺, and mixed Cs⁺/Sr²⁺ ions, focusing on hydration behavior, mechanical performance, durability, and leaching mechanisms . Hydration Behavior of MSHC with Radioactive Resins The incorporation of ion exchange waste resins into the MSHC matrix was found to influence the hydration reaction kinetics. Analytical techniques such as hydration heat measurement, ...

Study of 3-Aminothiolane Dipeptides | Spectroscopy Insights #Sciencefather #Researcherawards

Image
Introduction Understanding the molecular forces that dictate peptide and protein folding remains a central challenge in structural biology and molecular chemistry . Among these forces, hydrogen bonding plays a pivotal role in shaping secondary structures such as β-turns, helices , and sheets . While classical backbone-to-backbone hydrogen bonds have been widely studied, increasing attention is being directed toward unconventional interactions such as NH···S hydrogen bonds . This study explores how these short-range interactions influence the conformational preferences of homo-chiral and hetero-chiral capped dimers of 3-aminothiolane-3-carboxylic acid , a unique cyclic thioether amino acid . Through a combination of gas-phase and solution-phase IR spectroscopy supported by quantum chemical modeling , the work provides new insight into the stabilizing power of sulfur-assisted hydrogen bonding and its effect on β-turn formation. Role of Unconventional NH···S Hydrogen Bonds in Pepti...
